A week ago today, Spencer Hall, the hilarious blogger who runs the college football-specific EDSBS (Every Day Should Be Saturday) blog, wrote something of great interest to Memphians, and people anywhere who like to laugh: Adopt an NBA playoff team: The Memphis Grizzlies.

He's been tweeting about the Grizzlies with regularity since. (Hey, it's a down time for college football.) So I reached out to Spencer with some questions, if only to make you laugh just a little bit more.

1. Clippers are up 2-0. Is this still the year of the Grizzle?

This is still the year of the Grizzle, even in defeat. The NBA has been dominated by high-flying, points-friendly basketball for too long. It's time someone knocked that nonsense in the teeth with a pipe wrench, and no team or city better suited to do that than Memphis and the Grizzlies.

2. So why did you decide to get behind the Grizzlies?

Mostly because I love Zach Randolph. Memphis is part of that, though: it's a weird place, and one that's rough, underappreciated, and yet still very much rough around the edges in a lot of ways like Atlanta. I have an affection for humid, shambolic places with good food and bad governance. Memphis is all of those, and Zach Randolph lives there.

3. Why not your hometown Atlanta Hawks?

I'm not aware of us having a professional basketball team. This is something you might want to fact-check, "journalist."

4. Why do you love Zach Randolph so much?

Because he has zero vertical jump, knocks people out of the lane by barely moving, and appears to be living under a much higher gravity setting than the rest of us and is yet still a successful NBA player. He has been in elaborate trouble with the law and his employers ... and adopts pitbulls on national television. He wears a headband, and has tackled Blake Griffin with a flying clothesline. Why doesn't everyone love this man?

5. I'm a bit disappointed I couldn't crack your history of Memphis. How did you arrive at such a narrative, anyway?

The same way I do everything: by telling the truth, and waiting for someone to point out that no one would ever believe it.
